highview parking- threatening letters

[lesley c]

Having received,

out of the blue,

a fine from Highview parking in November 2013,

 

I emailed them back the following...

I am furious to receive this letter..

I am a law abiding, senior citizen and always park and pay correctly...

 

There were 3 adults and a small child in the car.

.We all are astounded that you have the cheek to send us this bill...

 

The time clocked on us entering the site, does not take into account the 5 or 6 minutes after that,

trying to find an 'all day' parking space in the underground part of the car park.

 

.We could not find anywhere.

 

We waited a few minutes for a Lady to pack her car with her shopping,

hoping to take her spot,

but she then said she was not going so we had wasted all that time..

 

.and then, emerging up to the ground level parking,

there was still no where empty..

 

We finally saw a spot near some rubbish but again had to wait for a young couple with a pushchair

to get out of their car and shut their doors before we could park next to them...

 

When we were all ready to go, with my little great granddaughter in her pram,

I went and bought a 3 hour parking ticket.

..You should have taken the time from that ticket, not when we entered the site.

 

.There must have been at least 12 or 13 minutes of wasted time.

 

In fact, we nearly went to another car park as we were fed up with waiting to find a spare spot.

 

Please bear in mind, there were 3 adults in this car and we all know the truth.

.We did pay for all our parking time and in fact, were back at the car about 4 minutes early...

 

Please take all this into account and do the correct thing in cancelling this charge.

 

I have no intention of paying something that is so unjust.

We have used this car park many times before with no trouble at all.

BUT NEVER AGAIN AND I WILL TELL ALL MY FRIENDS AND RELATIVES WHAT YOU HAVE DONE..

 

I await your reply..

 

I am still getting more letters with the price going up.

 

I do not know who owns the land where the car park is....

 

..What should I do.

 

This is such a worry as I am not used to being treated like this...

dx100uk; If OP has the above that will be a first !!!

 

That's a "Typo" I will never forget. No offence intended and none taken I trust. Think about it.

I'm still laughing.

Hi and welcome to CAG

 

Highview are a private parking company and their 'invoice' has no affect on you. It is not a fine that can only be issued by authorised bodies (such as the council)

 

You have received an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) invoice and although you appealed by email, they will (in all likelihood ) reject your appeal as it is not in their interest to do so as they would lose profit (their main purpose for them) Once the appeal is rejected, they should give you the POPLA code to take it further.

 

Ensure that you do appeal as this will cost Highway and not you. I see POPLA dismissing this.

[ericsbrother]

This only goes to prove that the ANPR is not fit for purpose so you should write back to th parking company that you had paid the prescribed fee for your parking and that the parking element of your visit to the premises was not in breaqch of contract but the method of accounting for your visit is a breach of the terms you agreed to in paying the fee. You thereforedemand that they cancel their erroneous demand for the alleged breach as it didnt occur.

they are then obliged to respond to you and tell you if your appeal against their (corrupt) charge has been allowed or rejected. If they reject your appeal then they must provide you with code so you may appeal to POPLA. When you do thsi come back here and get advice on futher points to add to the formal appeal that have proved successful in every case as Highview are on a hiding to nothing unless they can prove the impossible (and obviously they cant)
